Fire fighting pumpset for Latrobe Valley Power Station

Our customer required a second standby fire fighting pumpset to match the one they currently have installed. We were commissioned to supply and install a TKL 200x300-630 pump powered by a Detroit 16V71 diesel engine. The pump duty was specified as 300 litres per second at 1500 kpa. The engine was fully rebuilt and dynamometer tested prior to assembly.

After final assembly the pumpset was test run at our works prior to dispatch to verify that the pump would achieve the desired performance.

 

The installation is to include an acoustic enclosure to reduce the noise level to 84 dBa at 1 metre. Engine controls were mounted within the enclosure and visible through a glass window. Emergency stop provided externally.
The pumpset and canopy and associated piping all to be assembled and tested on site.
